The Southland, which went out to her, remained outside all night and brought in the Rifleman with the morning's tide. The Uolunteer, which arrived yesterday after a favorable passage of six days from the Manukau, has brought 25 tons of potatoes, and a large quantity of onions, turnips, and other Auckland produce in first-rate condition, •which will be sold by Mr Beauchamp at the Wharf to-morrow.
